Does anyone know what the oldest newspaper of the deaf is?
I need to know for a research paper for my ASL class. Please let me know if you know what it is.

Thanks! :D
 
The Silent Worker

"The Silent Worker was a popular national newspaper among the deaf population of the United States during the end of the 1890's through the end of the first quarter of the 20th century. Originally known as the Deaf Mute Times, it was first published in February 1888 and renamed The Silent Worker on September 27 of the same year. The New Jersey School for the Deaf continued its publication monthly, except for July, August, and periodically September until it ceased in June 1929. Deaf American authors wrote almost all articles, although occasional contributions by deaf individuals from other countries were also printed. Gallaudet University Archives has converted their collection of The Silent Worker from 1888 to 1929 into digital format, and made it available on the World Wide Web for public research."

So what would be the answer?
I found this somewhere last night:
Trudy Suggs is the newly-appointed editor of Silent News, the nation's oldest and most widely circulated newspaper for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
